How Do Cryptocurrency Wallets Work?

Cryptocurrency wallets work like the safety deposit boxes we use to store our most treasured possessions be they bond certificates, jewelry or a will. None of us can afford to lose the keys to the safety box because we could lose ownership of our valuables if they wind up in the wrong hands. Cryptocurrency wallets work pretty much the same way only instead of physical keys we carefully guard our digital keys. Commonly known as private keys or master keys, digital keys take form of hexadecimal codes, something like this:“2940447a4ed5eef7f46bcc185cb2f21d2a8bffcde5418156a9d1a44aa137558

Therefore, when you are holding digital assets such as ICO tokens and cryptocurrencies in a wallet, there is no excuse for not taking appropriate steps to secure your private key backups. You will need your private key to access your assets and authorize transfers from your wallet.
So never lose them, share them with anyone and always keep them somewhere safe where you can retrieve when necessary.
